Patient's question:
Boys, they are already 9 years old. Recently, the child said that his ears hurt. It is noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Moreover, his appetite is not good, and his throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How can otitis media with ear itching be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local medication can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's symptoms of ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication can be given. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate hospital treatment and surgery may be required. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
